Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse - Chapter 785: Human Bomb

Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Human Bomb

“It’s amazing that even Uncle Lin and the others are so powerful,”

As Yin Chengtian summoned a vine to bind two zombies together, he deftly chopped off their heads with the machete in his hands.

“Let’s keep it up, everyone.”

Guo Yang used Spatial Segmentation to throw out four Silver Needles, powerfully piercing through the heads of four zombies.

He knew, though, that even if he could always kill those lower-level Mutated Zombies and Ordinary Zombies with a single blow, he still needed to rely on his teammates when facing agile High-Level Mutated Zombies.

So, it turned out that Lu Hao, leading his family, protected Guo Yang and his team from behind, confronting those higher-level Mutated Zombies first.

“Together!”

Liao Yifan also noticed the situation and chose to stand by Guo Yang voluntarily.

Lu Hao and Su Jin always coordinated perfectly; she and Guo Yang had to try and match their level.

…

In the Security Team of Base S, Ye Rongxin was troubled as he looked at the interrogation room, where the blood had flowed over the floor and splashed all over the walls.

Zhao Jin and his five companions had all been killed there, and although each of them was nearly killed with a single blow, the impact of that blow was significant, especially since Liu Weicai had been sliced across the waist.

It was clear who did it, right?

Yet the main culprit was still sound asleep in the free dormitory provided by their Security Team, for whom any door was as good as nonexistent.

Su Jin was quite surprised when she received the “accusation” call from Liang Jiuhui, as Kou Ning had clearly already retracted his killing intent. What was he planning now?

“I did it, cleaning up the trash for you,”

Kou Ning said to Su Jin and Ye Rongxin in front of him.

“I told you I wouldn’t let them pose any more threats to you,”

Ye Rongxin was a bit angry; he wasn’t actually upset about those six people from Base B, but in this Apocalypse, when humanity had sharply decreased, they usually forgave those who committed offenses whenever possible. But Kou Ning…

“No matter how long you lock them up, they might always strike back, and you can never know what the Han Family might have put inside their bodies,”

Kou Ning said, holding a bowl of fried peanuts, with a smirk.

“Are you saying… they were modified?”

Su Jin frowned. How did Kou Ning figure it out?

“I didn’t figure it out; I tested each one. You’ve never seen this thing before, have you?”

Kou Ning threw out a seemingly ordinary two-color capsule, though he had already tampered with its contents.

“What’s this?”

Ye Rongxin glanced at Kou Ning and then carefully stared at the capsule on the table. Was it some kind of hallucinogen?

“Human bomb, brother. If these few people don’t return to Base B for a while, their bodies can be turned into time bombs. It’s one of the Han Family’s methods of control,”

Kou Ning said as he took out a transparent bag from his pocket, containing several identical capsules.

“Why didn’t you say this before?”

Ye Rongxin was somewhat shocked. If several of them exploded simultaneously, wouldn’t it be dangerous for everyone nearby?

“I wasn’t sure, and you weren’t going to let me kill them one by one, so I had to do it myself,”

Kou Ning said innocently, implying the Han Family didn’t equip each person with such devices, just as he had only found four, suggesting the Han Family wasn’t very confident in their tasks with Wu Zijian and the others.

…

For the first time, Ye Rongxin was at a loss for words.

“Captain Ye, I think we need to take a long view on this matter. Kou Ning has also protected the base in a way,”

Su Jin said, watching Kou Ning continuously throw peanuts into the air and catch them with his mouth.

She had to strike while the iron was hot, knowing that even if Zhao Jin and the others didn’t have these devices in their bodies, Kou Ning would still have killed them.

“Captain Su, I’ll still ask the Base Leader about this. I’ll take these things for now,”

Ye Rongxin felt that his head really hurt as he picked up the transparent bag containing several capsules and said,

“Take it. Don’t worry, I already destroyed what was inside.”

Kou Ning waved goodbye to Ye Rongxin.

Seeing Ye Rongxin shaking his head as he walked unsteadily out of Kou Ning’s shabby little room, Su Jin also prepared to leave.

“Hey, Su Jin, I saw your man and his group leave this morning,”

Kou Ning said.

“Hmm? So what?”

Su Jin turned her head and asked.

“So, there’s no one to protect you now. Do you want to hire me as your bodyguard?”

Seeing Su Jin about to laugh, Kou Ning immediately added, “Don’t worry, I won’t charge you. Just feed me one meal a day, and I don’t want to repeat the same meal for dinner…”

No matter what, eating the same meat dishes three times a day, he still felt it was a bit imperfect.

“I don’t need a bodyguard, really,”

Su Jin said seriously.

It wasn’t that she was overconfident, but that she truly didn’t need one.

“However, this week, you can come over for dinner in the evening,”

Su Jin added. She didn’t mind an extra bowl for Kou Ning, but she was worried about her family’s adaptation, so she only promised one week.

“Only a week, tsk tsk, but okay, I’ll take what I can get,”

Kou Ning immediately agreed, seemingly afraid Su Jin might change her mind.

So, that evening, even though they were one family short at dinner, Su Jin didn’t prepare any less than usual.

“Xiao Jin, haven’t Xiao Hao and the others all gone out?”

Lin Yunguo asked.

“Yes, this week I invited Kou Ning over for dinner. Grandpa, I also took out the trash from the back kitchen,”

Su Jin said. The kitchen still needed some signs of cooking and trash, just in case Kou Ning suspected something; that guy was not easy to fool.

“That kid Kou Ning? Then take out that plate of battered meat too, what you have here might not be enough for him,”

Lin Yunguo said.

“Isn’t this enough? This is enough for our whole family, and I got mostly meat dishes,”

She only dared to serve some greens and green peppers as vegetables, avoiding root vegetables and fruits altogether.

“Trust me, he will clean his plate,”

Lin Yunguo said with a chuckle.

Right when Lin Tianhui and Su Xiangzhe had just returned from outside, they saw Kou Ning squatting at the doorstep.

“Hello, auntie, uncle, I’m Su Jin’s friend, Kou Ning,”

Kou Ning stood up and greeted them proactively.

“Hello, I’ve heard Xiao Jin mention you. Haven’t you eaten yet? Please come in,”

Although Lin Tianhui didn’t know why Kou Ning was there, she knew that previously, it was thanks to Kou Ning that they had revealed the lies of those few people from the so-called C city base, and also prevented Lu Hao and his group from being ambushed.

“Oh dear, when there are people at home, you can just come right in,”

Lu Guanhai said.

Kou Ning chuckled twice but didn’t say anything, while Su Xiangzhe nodded with satisfaction.

The house was occupied, but it was just Su Jin alone.

This kid was probably trying to avoid any misunderstanding, right?
